"Princeton Mom" asserts "it's all on women" to find husbands, NBC News exposes war's impact on Syria's children and Miles O'Brien finds his accident "mind-boggling."

1. Reporter Miles O’Brien lost much of his left arm last month after a seemingly minor injury suddenly put his life in jeopardy.

“When I think of all the risky things I’ve done in my life — jumping out of airplanes, flying little airplanes, scuba diving — the fact that a heavy equipment case could take my arm is mind-boggling,” he told Savannah. The PBS correspondent said that returning to work after his accident, in time to report on the anniversary of the Japanese earthquake, proved to be "a pretty good tonic."
